Reminder: #TBRChallenge for July

Well that escalated quickly. The TBR Challenge is always "due" on the third Wednesday of the month. Guess what kiddies? July 1 was the first Wednesday of the month, which means the third Wednesday of the month is this week. That's right, Wednesday, July 15.

I should have DNF'ed this because it never succeeded in grabbing me. My reading experience here was largely indifferent, I suspect because the plot was a bit too loosey-goosey for too long. There's the long-lost son (hero) with an evil m...

My reread/revisiting of the McCone series marches on with this book that I vaguely remembered "really liking" back in the day. I still kind of liked it, but it didn't hold up as well for me as Trophies and Dead Things. I suspect because ...

#11 in the Sharon McCone series works best as a mystery if you're completely ignorant of later books in the series. The misdirection involving a secondary character would just play better. I liked this one, but wasn't in love with it. Th...
